We’ve Been Lied To: Dave Mac’s Carnivore Awakening
We’ve been lied to about everything — food, health, and even vegetables. In this conversation with Dave Mac of @ZeroCarb, we dig into why moderation doesn’t work, what it’s really like living carnivore in Japan, and the surprising truths about plants, carbs, and healing.
Dave shares:
-
His doctor’s wake-up call: prediabetes + alcohol = time for change
-
Why he started his channel out of anger at the lies we’ve been told
-
What life is really like doing carnivore in Japan (hint: Yakiniku + steak at the table 🍖)
-
Growing up carb-addicted in Australia and Scotland (yes, entire loaves of Wonder White bread 🤯)
-
How bread + sugar fed his acne and pot belly as a kid
-
Why medical “experts” dismissing carnivore as “anecdotal” is hypocritical
-
His best advice for beginners: take it one day at a time, don’t project 10 years ahead
-
Why beating yourself up after a slip-up leads to the donut spiral — and how to get back on track immediately
-
The Navy SEAL mindset for carnivore: just survive the next meal, the next day, and build consistency
-
Why planning ahead for failures is as important as planning your meals
-
How his friends react (“nodding and backing away slowly 👀”) and why being a foreigner in Japan makes it easier to stand out
-
His first U.S. speaking gig at MeatStock 2026 🎤🥩 Use code - LTL - for $50 off your ticket at https://meatstockconvention.com/

His final advice: “Just try it. You don’t know how good you can feel until you escape the ultra-processed cloud you’ve lived in your whole life.”
